Seattle - Tuesday
Today we spent at Pike Place Market. We walked all over for FIVE HOURS. I am burning calories this week, that's for sure. All our legs and feet are aching, but we just rest for 1/2 hour or so and continue on. We're little Seattle Energizer Bunnies. We bought some watercolor paintings, tie-dyed T-shirts, chocolate covered cherries, dried flowers, cherry salsa, raspberry-jalapeno and peach-chipotle jellies, lots of specialty spices... and on and on. We continued on until we were dragging our bags as well as our poor little feet. I have a little tiny blister on one of my little toes - it's cute and doesn't hurt yet, haha. Our tasting tour was great too, and I recommend that for visitors. If anything it takes you around the Market and brings you to some interesting places you may not have noticed - trust me, we walked that place for 5 hours and still never came close to seeing it all. During the tour we had fresh fried donuts, cheeses, piroshkies, coconut pie, clam chowder, some tea... I can't even remember it all. Buffy couldn't even eat all her samples. We had dinner at Dos Amigos (wow, cheapest Mexican food EVER and very delicious!) and the kids decided to forgo the concert I had bought tickets for (only $10 each). We've managed to walk everywhere from our hotel, haven't got into the car once. But the concert is too far to walk to and the streets aren't really visitor friendly - lots of construction, lots of one-way streets with only tiny warning signs, we've even seen one car get stuck going the wrong way... I felt sorry for them. But anyway, Spike doesn't feel real comfortable driving the two miles to the concert. So they just went out walking around some more over by the Space Needle. I had no idea when I booked this hotel that we'd be able to walk everywhere, I feel really lucky. Tomorrow is an open day, but we have ideas on our list: The Woodland Zoo, a walking tour of the Fremont area, the Underground Tour, the Pacific Science Center. We should be able to get 2-3 of those items in tomorrow. For now it's time to watch the Olympics. Posted by Pischina at August 12, 2008 7:39 PMComments
